3468Beautiful, Ruthie! I've never tried to embrouder on organza, how do you stabilize it, wss? Thanks, Marji

Hi Marji, thanks and a flower for you. The stabiliser depends on the look you want. If I want a see-thru look, then it's wss. But if I want a more solid look I'll use a tear or cut away, I prefer tearaway, but find I have to be *very* careful tearing it. The organza has to be stabilised firmly, use a design that isn't too dense (although why would anyone do it on organza if they didn't want to see the sheen through it, haha), then just cut around the butterfly, or whatever, and voila! Have fun trying them.
33451Very nice, Ruthie. Like the idea to hide the hook with something that matches the design. Lovely idea for lavender bags.

Thanks mops, and a flower for your comments. I hate the hooks showing, I think it spoils the look, and it's not always possible to hide them. This way I can deliberately not hide them, and as in this case it makes a feature of it.
145191How pretty, and what a good idea. Are the hearts filled with lavender or pot-pourri or something like that, or are they just stuffed?

Thanks Dianne, a flower for you. They're filled with lavender with wadding to help keep their shape, every now and then I'll sprinkle a couple of drops of lavender oil in an inconspicuous place.
